[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]GA goes SY without a doubt; they can’t risk standing alone.  MLSN could risk it but do they want to reduce their potential player pool and make life difficult for clubs?[/quote]

People keep saying this. But it’s just not true, and it’s not what GA argued for with USSF when this was in committee.

GA is better off being aligned with MLS, international standards and with YNTs. It’s how they differentiate from ECNL.

There is ZERO risk to GA with no change, and big potential competitive upside after ECNL’s change to SY.

If you can’t see that, you’re either too obtuse, too biased, or too insecure about your DD’s opportunities. [/quote]

Aligned with MLS how, exactly? What does that even mean? This is youth soccer. Not professional soccer. They’re going to go SY like their competition (this is a business!), the other youth leagues. If you can’t see that then, well, I guess you’re too obtuse, biased, or too insecure about your own DD’s opportunities. [/quote]

GA is a second tier league compared to ecnl but becomes a good option for January - July birthdays if they stay BY and ecnl goes SY.

Similarly, ecnl is a second tier league compared to mlsnext and becomes a good option for August-December birthdays if they go SY and mlsnext stays BY.

Those of us who have been around youth soccer for a long time know that leagues come and go like that. Just because a league is top now doesn’t mean it will even be in existence in 5 years.[/quote]
